It's a myth. Many people are just hanging by hoping and praying, but in my 2 years there I never know anyone who actually succed in making the switch. All we had were rumours, but never an identifiable person with an actual name. The bank itself will always subtly imply the possibility to keep the grunts motivated and stay with them.
Base on my observation, to make it to these pulmp jobs, either you have sterling academics and join the FO right at the start, or you are some rich kid with rich connections or you are mid career who build up your connections in some other industry. Ammassing experience and network with the common masses who only have a few hundred k in their banks aint gona get you anywhere to IB.

i dun think its possible to make it to a private banker in just 2 or 3 years if you join as a consumer banker right? correct me if im wrong but i think private bankers are mostly all in their 30s at least. also, i dun think its possible to get into IB if you join as a consumer banker, what you should be looking at is to move up to head the whole branch instead.
